< Swimmers must not use the pontoon tubes to enter or leave the
water.
Never allow swimmers or water skiers to enter or
exit the boat with the engine running or the
propeller moving. Never back up your boat to
reach a person in the water.
Never dive from any part of the boat. Water depths
can be unpredictable, and serious injuries or
death can occur from diving into shallow water.
Children must be under adult supervision at all
times, both in the water and on the boat.
Swimming can be hazardous. Follow all safety
rules.
Water Skiing Safety
Water skiing poses several hazards in addition to those discussed under
the “Swimming Safety” section. The following basic safe water skiing
rules must be observed.
< The ski tow bar is rated for a maximum of 300 pounds. Do not pull
multiple towables; pull only one towable at a time.
< Start the engine only when the skier is a safe distance from the boat.
< Accelerate the boat slowly forward until the rope is taut.
< Before applying the throttle, check for traffic ahead.
< Follow the skier’s signals to set the optimum speed for the skier.
